A former geologist and native German, Janna Ruth is set to conquer the English and the German book markets. Her career kicked off in 2017 with winning the Ueberreuter writing competition, resulting in her debut novel »Tanz der Feuerblüten«, which is heavily inspired by feudal Japan. The same year, Janna launched into self-publishing with a modern day fairy-retelling. The novel »Im Bann der zertanzten Schuhe« won the 2018 SERAPH Phantastikpreis for »Best Independent Title«. This year, her eyes are set on New Zealand, where she has lived since 2009. »Witching with Dolphins« is her first English standalone novella.
